Oh.... and I haven't done it for several years... but you can bake quick bread in wide mouth pint sized mason jars. Pour one cup of batter into each jar and bake. When the come out of the oven and are still hot... you put the lids on... they will 'pop' sealed.

It doesn't make them 'canned' but it's a cute presentation and should be eaten within a couple of weeks._________________~Marguerite

Nope... but you have to use canning jars... I wouldn't try it with any other kind. They are always VERY popular.

Plus... in a mason jar.... you'll hear the 'pop', then it's sealed... when they are completely cool... you can store them in the freezer... my pumpkin bread is insanely moist and freezes wicked good... still moist and delish when it comes out.

So those you could do way ahead of time. Pie pumpkins are everywhere right now.

Then just tie cute ribbon around the rims when ready to give away._________________~Marguerite

That's really interesting. I actually have a ton of mason jars from my sauce that I finished. I just need to buy new lids. Two more questions. How do you remove the bread from the jar? Can I use canned pumpkin? If so, I'd love to see the recipe you use for this.

Cool, I'm excited! I THINK that DD used canned pumpkin in hers. You should do a blog showing how you fill up the jars. lol How high fill them, how many it makes, how you decorate the jar. I think it would be a HUGE hit! (and I of course would love all the info! hahahah)_________________MICHELE

I wish I could make them this weekend... but I think it will be a couple weeks before I have time.

This weekend is Tawny's birthday Saturday and Football Party Sunday... Then next weekend is Halloween/Wine Tasting Party Saturday and Spice Cookie Baking Day with Ericka & Kate on Sunday. (VERY excited about spice cookie day!)_________________~Marguerite

Okay. I'll try it anyway! You know me when I don't know what I'm doing (esp with baking) i have 100 questions (hope you don't mind!). I guess I always expect some sort of disaster (think pumpkin batter overflowing into my oven and setting off the smoke alarms and leaving me a nice big mess to clean! lol)_________________MICHELE
